The Secret Between Widow Zhang and the Village Chief

Bai Wenjing heard this and could not swallow her anger.

However, when she thought about it carefully, it was true in this era, especially in this Buffalo Bay, which was close to the mountains and water. The most important crop was rice, which was very troublesome to grow. It would not be possible without the buffalo.

Therefore, the village chief said that the buffalo was more valuable than human lives, so Bai Wenjing could not refute him even if she wanted to.

Seeing the village chief bringing more than ten people closer and closer, Bai Wenjing hurriedly said, "Well, village chief, our Chunsheng, and Bainian are also missing. Can we ask everyone to help look for them?"

After Bai Wenjing finished speaking, she saw the village chief, Liu Dexi, directly ignore her and continue to bring a large group of people to walk past her expressionlessly.

Bai Wenjing finally understood. Offending Liu Cuixiang was equivalent to offending Liu Dexi. Now that she had provoked Liu Cuixiang, Liu Dexi would probably not be able to get any benefits from her.

What should they do now? The village was only so big. It was easy to find, but it was not easy to find on the mountain. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack when they entered the mountain. Not to mention looking for someone, even if they entered the mountain, they might get lost.

Just as Bai Wenjing was at her wit's end, she saw Xue Baijun pull Xue Xiaohua out of some unknown corner and stood in front of Liu Dexi, he said to Liu Dexi, "Grandpa village chief, Grandpa village chief, come here. I have a secret to tell you!"

Bai Wenjing felt a headache as she looked at Xue Baijun scurrying around. Did she not ask the two of them to chop firewood? Why were they making a ruckus here again?

Just as she was about to roll up her sleeves and hold the two of them at home... Liu Dexi, who had finished talking to Xue Baijun, said, "Everyone, listen up. Not only did our village lose a cow, but we also lost two children. Together with the little girl from before, we have three children now. "I now suspect that the cow thief had stolen the two dolls along with him, so we searched the village together. If there isn't any, we will go up the mountain. We must not let that damn thief escape!"

After Liu Dexi said that, he narrowed his eyes and looked in their direction. Lee Guilan was overjoyed when she heard that. She thanked Liu Dexi profusely and then said to Zhaodi, "Why aren't you following your uncle Liu? Are you trying to drive away flies with your long ears?"

When Zhaodi Xie heard that, she nodded her head and wiped her tears into the crowd.

Liu Dexi's change made Bai Wenjing puzzled. It must be known that she was howling loudly just now, but the village chief acted as if he did not hear it. Why did Xue Baijun only bring her over to whisper to her, did Liu Dexi just obediently call everyone to look for the child together?

Seeing the crowd dispersing into the village, Bai Wenjing pulled Xue Baijun over and asked, "Brat, tell me, what did you say to the village chief just now? The village chief actually agreed to help us look for your brother?"

Hearing his mother mention this, Xue Baijun immediately held his head high and puffed out his chest, he said proudly, "Mother, you don't know about this, do you? Actually, when I pulled the village chief to the side just now, I only said one thing. I told him that if he didn't help my mother look for her brother, I would tell everyone about him kissing widow Zhang."

When Bai Wenjing heard this, her face was so red that it reached the end of her neck.

It was true. He was already a ten-year-old boy. Even though ancient times were more conservative in this aspect, the child still knew something about it.

Therefore, when she heard Xue Baijun's words, she did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Xue Baijun was still waiting for his mother's praise, but he did not expect her mother to have an expression that he could not figure out, hence, he said, "Mother, am I very smart? If he still doesn't help me next time, I will use these words to scare him again. Mother, do you think that widow Zhang will have a baby in her stomach now that he has kissed her?"

"Smart, smart. You can't say these words recklessly in the future."

It was rare for Bai Wenjing to praise Xue Baijun. It was indeed thanks to this little fellow today. Otherwise, she would not really know what to do... but after thinking carefully, she said, "Alright, I can't say anything to the village chief today. If I say anything else, the village chief will definitely beat you up. At that time, I won't be able to stop him."

She still did not know what kind of person the village chief was, but she knew very well what kind of person Liu Cuixiang was. What if the village chief was not a good person either? What if he used dirty tricks again later?

"I know, I know." Xue Baijun was elated after receiving the praise. Xue Xiaohua puffed up her cheeks and thought that she should put in some effort to get her mother's praise, but when she thought of what she had done today... she immediately became a little listless.

Her mother was still waiting to go back and settle the score with her.

"Alright, the two of you should hurry back. Everyone is at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid that Chunsheng and Bainian have really been brought into the mountain. I have to go and look for them. Remember to lock the door when there's no one at night. Don't open the door for anyone except for your mother."

Bai Wenjing was just about to leave when Xue Baijun grabbed her from behind. "Mother, let me tell you something else."

Bai Wenjing furrowed her brows. was this brat still going to stop?

Xue Baijun continued to speak proudly, "Mother, actually, I used a rock to shoo that water buffalo away. Mother, look. If I hadn't smashed that big water buffalo away, the village chief and the others wouldn't have come out to look for it, much less help us find our youngest. Don't you think I'm very powerful?"

"You!"

Bai Wenjing raised her hand. She did not know if she should slap him or not. This devilish brat actually stirred up some trouble. However, if she had not hit the jackpot, she really did not know what to do.

"Alright, alright. Mother knows. The two of you hurry back and remember what I said."

Bai Wenjing chased the two children away while she hurriedly followed the main group.

Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua were still thinking about the question they had just asked as they rushed back. "Xiaohua, I just said that I was the one who smashed away the big buffalo before letting the village chief and the others find the cow. Why does our mother look unhappy?"

Xue Xiaohua rolled his eyes at Xue Baijun and said, "You're stupid. You can't even figure this out. What mother means is that you shouldn't have chased that big buffalo away. If you wanted to chase it away, you should have chased it into our pigsty. Then it would have become ours!"

Xue Baijun thought for a moment and sighed, "That's right. Look at this blockhead of mine. If it were to rush into our pigsty, it would be our cow. Mother is blaming me for being stupid. It's obvious that I can pick up the good stuff, but I've lost it."

After Xue Baijun finished speaking, he saw a big fat pig humming as it opened up a farmer's pigsty. After that, the big fat pig easily jumped out of the pigsty and continued to wag its tail as it hummed and looked for something to eat.

Xue Xiaohua's eyes instantly lit up as she screamed, "Big brother, look, the pig has run away!"

Xue Baijun naturally saw it as well. The siblings looked at each other and smiled... this time, the two of them had struck it rich!
